We recommend voting for Alan Wong for the Board of Supervisors, District 4.

Alan Wong was appointed to District 4 Supervisors by Mayor Daniel Lurie in September, 2025. Lurie ran an open process to find a new Supervisor, and Alan was selected from a set of five finalists for the position. We think that the number one priority for the District 4 Supervisors is to make D4 voters feel heard again—and Alan has been doing just that.

To demonstrate this, Supervisor Wong's first act was to submit a ballot measure to re-open the Great Highway. This reflects the majority opinion in the district and sends a clear signal that he isn't bringing his own agenda to the Board, but is there to enact their will. Only two other Supervisors signed on to the measure, so it did not meet the threshold to qualify for the ballot.

Alan grew up in the Sunset, attended Lincoln High, and has an extensive track record of public service. He's been a labor organizer, a Legislative Aide to former District 4 Supervisor Gordon Mar, led Public Policy and Comms for the Children's Council of San Francisco, and, most recently, was a Trustee on the Community College Board. He is also a First Lieutenant with the Army National Guard. Alan brings experience working across different political and interest groups to do what's in the best interest for the communities he represents.

We believe Alan has the level-headed temperament, experience in public service, and dedication to the district to bring stability back to City Hall. And we think the district deserves some continuity of leadership after the past couple tumultuous years.

Why vote for Alan Wong?

Alan's top policy goals are:

1. Public Safety. Alan believes public safety and a fully staffed police force should continue to be the city's top priority. He says "Public safety investments are critical for residents to feel safe, for small businesses to flourish, and for commerce and activity to return to our neighborhoods."

   To help solve the 500-officer shortage, he supports strengthening recruitment for bilingual officers who speak Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, and other languages and civilianizing certain desk roles so more sworn officers can return to patrol.

2. Making Government Work for D4 Residents. District 4 residents consistently ask for responsiveness from City Hall. Alan says he will dedicate half of his staff time to constituent services -that's things like filling potholes, installing stop signs, and working to improve traffic. He has committed to reply within 24 hours to any constituent concern and to follow through across city agencies to make sure issues are resolved. He wants every Sunset resident to have a voice at City Hall, "especially seniors, working families, small business owners, and longtime residents who don't always have time to organize but whose lives are deeply affected by city decisions."

3. Supporting Small Business. Alan says "opening a business in San Francisco is a painful, grueling process that can shut doors before they have a chance to open." He supports Mayor Lurie's efforts to make it easier for businesses to open and run in the city., In our questionnaire, he said he would launch a program to collect feedback and identify laws for repeal, to reduce or eliminate high fees, and give small businesses a "straightforward checklist of items to complete rather than a byzantine maze of never-ending bureaucracy." He'd also like to provide hands-on support to fix problems. We think this is a great way to identify and prioritize the highest priority issues for D4 business owners but also the city at large.

4. Families & Education. The Sunset has long been a home for families just starting out, which means Sunset residents need great schools and daycares for their little ones. Alan wants to ensure families can thrive in the Sunset by supporting early childcare and school choice. We suggest that he should make it easier to open childcare facilities, improve safety and transportation around schools, and push the school district to provide parents with clearer, more transparent enrollment and school-quality information.

On other issues

1. Affordability. Alan understands that families are hurting with the rising cost of living. That's why his first vote on the Board of Supervisors was in favor of Mayor Lurie's Family Zoning plan. It will create new starter homes for new families in the neighborhood, make it easier to add rooms to existing homes, and stabilize rents.
2. Transit & Parking. As a life-long Sunset resident, Alan knows how important parking is. But he knows that not everyone can drive, so a fast, safe, and affordable bus network is just as important. He will find ways to preserve parking without slowing down the bus, and make it easier to access small businesses.
3. Fiscal Discipline. Alan plans to take a pragmatic and holistic approach to the budget role that he will play on the Board of Supervisors; he wants to prioritize core services, scrutinize spending, and consider a mix of savings and revenue options.
4. Great Highway. Alan attempted to get a repeal of the Great Highway closure onto the ballot to give voters a final say on the issue, but only Supervisors Chan and Chen signed on to support it, so it did not succeed.

District 4 needs a serious, values-driven public servant, and we believe Alan is still the best candidate — and that he will do the outreach, build the coalition, and ultimately drive this issue to a good outcome.
